A wet, damp, or moist basement crawl space not only smells bad, but it can throw off the entire energy efficiency of your home. Also, anytime water sits or saturates building materials, it becomes an environment that is perfect for mold. Mold and mildew not only smell, but they also eat the surface on which they grow.
The crawl space beneath a home is one of the first areas that water infiltrates. It is a system that should have a moisture barrier in place that prevents water from soaking into the wood, insulation, and foundation supports. If that barrier is missing or damaged, water can seep into your home by wicking up the building material and insulation to cause damage to floors and walls.
So, crawl space repair is a service that helps ensure that the moisture barrier is in place and intact. It is also one of our most utilized services because it removes damaged building material, and replaces it with new material that is dry, free of mold and mildew, and sturdy enough to support your home. This process can involve mold removal and abatement.
